1. Discount factor Example





1. Find Discount factor for Interest rate i = 10%, Compounded (n) = 1

Solution:
`i=10%=0.1` per year (Interest rate)

`n=1` years (Number of periods)

Discount Factor
`DF=1/(1+i)^n`

`=1/(1+0.1)^1`

`=1/(1.1)^1`

`=1/(1.1)`

`=0.9091`
2. Find Discount factor for Interest rate i = 10%, Compounded (n) = 2

Solution:
`i=10%=0.1` per year (Interest rate)

`n=2` years (Number of periods)

Discount Factor
`DF=1/(1+i)^n`

`=1/(1+0.1)^2`

`=1/(1.1)^2`

`=1/(1.21)`

`=0.8264`
Find Discount factor for Interest rate i = 10%, Compounded (n) = 3

Solution:
`i=10%=0.1` per year (Interest rate)

`n=3` years (Number of periods)

Discount Factor
`DF=1/(1+i)^n`

`=1/(1+0.1)^3`

`=1/(1.1)^3`

`=1/(1.331)`

`=0.7513`
